Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was a whirlwind of catch up meals with friends, work for the blog (we shot the next event for this series!), and some much needed house cleaning. My bathroom is sparkling, in case anyone would like to come over.

Today I’m sharing the last edition of photos from our trip. The trip feels so far away at this point, but looking at these photos brings me right back. Fair warning- this post is going to make you want one big plate of pasta. I’m longing for a steaming bowl of Bucatini All’Amatriciana, my favorite dish of the trip, right now!

I loved the idea of visiting an island and given the amount of time we had, it seemed like the perfect place.
